It's the best I have found111
Pros: Grabs most of the spam and fraudulent emails right out of the box.
Cons: Wont import address book
First don't know how cnet put me in 3 times. As for the product I love it. It caught 95%of the spam and fraudulent email right after installing. After tweeking it from the configuration menu it went to 99.5%. I don't understand the negative comments. It will move spam to the delete folder. In fact you can control how long it stay's in the spam folder. I have not any of the problems reported in the other posts.

Won't start with windows
Pros: No pros to something that cost $30
Cons: won't work
In fairness, it is working better since I removed and reinstalled it..anything will work better than Norton Antispam which is the worst I have tested; Cloudmark was no thrill either, cuz it misses abunch.
Amazed to find speedy answer to start up stubborness; Norton was also previously installed, and is a known issue to screw up other programs (as well as slow a system down, which is a free Symantec bonus) and unistalling Norton lets Mail Frontier work perfectly.

Stopped working after a couple months
Pros: It was easy to tag junk mail
Cons: It stopped filtering email that was previously tagged
After a couple months, I found I was clicking on the same junk email day after day and it wasn't saving that information. It did have the addresses in the preferences, but didn't automatically move them until I clicked on them as it had been doing previously, so it was the same to me as if I had no filter and was manually deleting them each time. I wrote to Mail Frontier and they had me send some files/logs to them and said that I could install a fix by installing a beta version, so I downloaded that and installed it. I wrote back to tell them that the beta caused Outlook to create a crash dump and couldn't even open Outlook, so I had to uninstall it to just get to my email. I asked them to let me know when they had a different solution and haven't heard from them since- 4 months ago.

Better Than Others, BUT
Pros: The best at catching spam
Cons: Would not load consistently
BUT:
Problem One - the spam it catches is placed in a MailFrontier folder when it should be removed directly to the "Deleted Items" folder (creates an extra step).
Problem Two - MailFrontier would NOT automatically load with Outlook Express.
Problem Three - became unstable after approximately 10 days and started renaming non-existent folders???
Like I stated - better than any other, but not yet the answer needed. I uninstalled after 2 weeks.
